The Problem of Wineskins

2 comments

  1. Yay for the winery photos!
    One of the highlights of the trip was this simple interaction:

    Me: Where’s Neil?
    Ange: He’s positioning the grapes.
    Me: Ha ha (thinking there was a joke I was missing due to the wine) really, where is he?
    Ange: (pointing to you way out in the vineyard, tucked into one of the rows with your camera) Positing the grapes.
    Me: Oh he really IS positing the grapes.

  2. That was a fun trip, photographically speaking too. Now, really, I did not actually position them per se, but rather had to position myself. Not that I am beyond the occassional “positioning.”

    I found a bunch of the small Norton grapes on the ground and took the liberty to taste one grape. Very sweet, with a thick skin, which has the sweetest layer just inside the skin and attached to it and a sort of less flavorful gelatinous center. It also had seeds.

    Yay, for next year’s grape-stomping birthday trip.
